Is everyone that goes to Notre Dame Catholic? What about Baylor or SMU and their respective religious views?
To discriminate against a student solely on the grounds of perceived beliefs because of the University they chose to attend is short-sighted and, according to you, not occurring.
There is no reason for this discussion. Most people in their right minds would not even consider such information in admissions. And, even if they did, you could not, in good faith, turn a person down solely because of where they went. The question would have to be posed to the person.
If we just start assuming beliefs, then why even bother having them.
One might assume that I, as a Catholic, believe the 6 day creation to be FACT. This is, in fact, incorrect. I believe it to be symbolic, because we have fossil records that prove otherwise. So, unless 6 days became significantly shorter sometime between the creation and today, it is symbolism.
I also believe in evolution, but as a mechanism that was established by God.
Believing in God and science are not seperate ideologies. One can believe in both. Most refuse to.
It does not matter what science does, it will never disprove religion, because religion is about belief. While it should not matter whether one "believes" in science or not (after all, it is, or should be, based on fact), many do not "believe" in science. So, unless "belief" in science replaces belief in religion, religion will always have it's place in society.
